I have gathered from the notices they sent out that:
1. They will send one last paper bill.
2. There will be no further online access.
3. Payments scheduled, but not completed will be canceled.
Nothing has been said about transferring the balances to FNBO, but I don't see this as...
Some members of my family are riding the Cardinal on June 16. One of them, who had Roomette 12 reserved, received notification. today that his ticket had been canceled and he needed to call in to tell them what he wanted to do. No one else in the family received this notice. Guest Rewards...
I'm living in Italy right now, where they have excellent high speed rail, with two competing companies, very good regular rail, and moderately good metro and bus service. Gasoline is about $7 per gallon. I'm sure that a larger proportion of the population uses mass transit than in the USA, but...

I've wondered about just abandoning a train on which I am a passenger a time or two. Once, the Lake Shore Limited headed for Chicago was stranded by a derailment and they ended up sending buses for us. The dining and lounge car crew threw away all the food the minute they heard we would be...
I’m willing to put money and/or my reputation where my mouth is. Global sea level will rise, but it will not rise two feet within three years. It might rise two feet by 2100, but I’d happily offer an even odds bet on that, though we’d have to find a committee of teenagers to hold the stakes...
